it seemed tantalizing within reach to candidate obama. he made this promise in 2008. >> i cannot guarantee that it will be in the first 100 days. >> what i can guarantee is that we will have in the first year an immigration bill that i strongly support and that i'm promoting. >> now in his second term, president obama has yet to fulfill that promise. >> immigration reform has taken longer than anyone has expected. he used his political capital on other things. his ablility to convince congres to do this is vastly diminished. >> he did pass the dream act but did not promise to protect the parents. >> we have an immigration system that is broken. that's why my top priority has been let's reform the whole system. let's fix the legal immigration system so that we're not pushing people into an illegal process and let's make sure we have secure borders. >> some say his political clout to get the job done is waneing. >> i think the president today and over the last few weeks have come to the point where this could be the end of his relevancy and
